Vinicius Jr scored twice, while Neymar made his first appearance for Brazil in three years, coming on as a substitute in the second half.
The match saw Brazil dominate possession and create numerous chances. Vinicius Jr opened the scoring in the first half with a clinical finish, then added a second after the break to put the game beyond Scotland's reach.
